A truck and a scooter moving with the same velocity colide. Why does the scooter fly off?

1 answer:

6 0

We know, Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. As velocity is equal, momentum of Truck will be greater as mass of Truck is greater than the scooter. As momentum is greater from truck side, it will transfer the same amount to the scooter, so it flies away

Hope this helps!

If a ball is thrown straight up into the air with an initial velocity of 65 ft/s, its height in feet after t seconds is given by

fgiga [73]

Answer:

a) $v_{1}=\frac{(62.5-66)ft}{(2.5-2)s}=-7ft/s$

$v_{2}=\frac{(65.94-66)ft}{(2.1-2)s}=-0.6ft/s$

$v_{3}=\frac{(66.0084-66)ft}{(2.01-2)s}=0.84ft/s$

$v_{4}=\frac{(66.001-66)ft}{(2.001-2)s}=1ft/s$

b) $v=65-32(2)=1ft/s$

Explanation:

From the exercise we got the ball's equation of position:

$y=65t-16t^{2}$

a) To find the average velocity at the given time we need to use the following formula:

$v=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{t_{2}-t_{1} }$

Being said that, we need to find the ball's position at t=2, t=2.5, t=2.1, t=2.01, t=2.001

$y_{t=2}=65(2)-16(2)^{2} =66ft$

$y_{t=2.5}=65(2.5)-16(2.5)^{2} =62.5ft$

$v_{1}=\frac{(62.5-66)ft}{(2.5-2)s}=-7ft/s$

$y_{t=2.1}=65(2.1)-16(2.1)^{2} =65.94ft$

$v_{2}=\frac{(65.94-66)ft}{(2.1-2)s}=-0.6ft/s$

$y_{t=2.01}=65(2.01)-16(2.01)^{2} =66.0084ft$

$v_{3}=\frac{(66.0084-66)ft}{(2.01-2)s}=0.84ft/s$

$y_{t=2.001}=65(2.001)-16(2.001)^{2} =66.001ft$

$v_{4}=\frac{(66.001-66)ft}{(2.001-2)s}=1ft/s$

b) To find the instantaneous velocity we need to derivate the equation

$v=\frac{df}{dt}=65-32t$

$v=65-32(2)=1ft/s$
